Honest Stupidity or Wickedness-
whfch2

Nothing better illustrates the utter
absurdity and worse than uselessness OF
the third party of sO-called prohibitionists,
than what has just resulted in New York.
1t has again put the political control of
that state in the hands Of those who are
In the closest alliance with the manu-
facturerz and sellers Of alcoholic liquors,
and thus powerfully contributed TO the
triumph Of unrestricted license of the
lowest vices and worst evils that aiflict
society and menace the future Of the
country. 1t has just az effectively aided
in the defeat Of the republicans as though
it, members had all been enrolled in the
cohorts Of the democracy. Worse. il has
committed this blunder, this political
crime. in the name Of a sacred cause, and
has done a wrong which an avowed
enemy Of that cause could not do. The
republicans were by their legislative
record and their convention platform fully
committed to state restriction. and to-
prohibition through local option. In
the republicans ranks are the great
majority Of the temperance voters Of
the empire state ready and in earnest to
aid IN all practicable efforts 10 diminish the
I liquor traffic and to extinguish intemper-
